An old cat was diagnosed to be slightly anemic in a routine examination and a mild nonregenerative anemia was diagnosed. One of the most likely reasons for this of course is a renal insufficiency. But the bone marrow biopsy revealed not the exspected result but a erythryoid hyperplasia. A fascinating case report of a very unusual neoplasia!

Reference intervals for blood parameters in Shetland Sheepdogs
Several breeds have physiological peculiarities that induce variations in reference intervals (RIs) compared with the general canine population. Shetland sheepdogs (SSs) are reported to be more predisposed to different diseases (eg, hyperlipidemia, gallbladder mucocele, and hypothyroidism). Consequently, a breedâspecific approach is more often required. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine whether the RIs of the general canine population could be applied to that of SSs, and to generate breedâspecific RIs, where appropriate.
